As one of four new posts, it is an exciting time for the organisation with the reinstatement of locally provided haematology services.

The Trust is among the larger NHS providers in the Northwest, employing over 8,000 staff and generating an annual income exceeding £600 million.

This is a fixed-term appointment with opportunities to develop sub-speciality interests.

Relocation packages are available, and recruitment premia are negotiable separately.
